Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poker)
 

This is funny to me. I have been considering a post to vent my frustration that every day at my local Bank of American there are tons of guys that I suspect are illegals banking there every day. And by that I mean a disproportionate amount of these guys considering the area in which I live.

Also the way these guys are dressed, the dirt on their clothes, it's obvious the type of work they had been doing in the hours before showing up to bank.

All the while I am thinking of how BOA has been one of the first to deny EFT's from payment processors we use for poker and are among the biggest sticklers when it comes to giving customers a hard time about checks from the check processors our poker sites use.

Now today, we have the news that BOA is catering to illegals by offering credit cards with no Social Security Number required.

If you are a legal American citizen you can just go ahead and bend over for Bank of America.

Everybody else can step right up, get credit, cash checks, move funds with ease.

Well luckily you have a choice. Close you account and stop doing business with those Douchebags.

Why would I do business with Bank of America?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poker)
 

They (B of A) were dicks 25 years ago. I quit doing any business with them then.

Ya but BoA let me deposit at eppasporte..bwahahahah

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

actually they announced that they'll service people without ss #'s like 2 weeks ago. they dont deserve to be called bank of america when all they really want is to service illegal immigrants and extend a credit line to those who benefit from our tax dollars. wtf is america coming to

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

WTF is up with this becoming the "Fox News Anti-Foreigners" forum?

I agree with the idea that they shouldn't hassle their customers about online-gambling stuff and that they seem to be pretty stupid.

But all these, "OMG...they're serving all these illegal aliens" comments are a different topic.

Anyone else think this is funny coming on the heels of all of the threads about faking residence in Canada in order to open a bank and/or Party account?

What about U.S. citizens faking residency in Mexico for Neteller? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

It really doesn't matter. The point is, do you really want anyone who has to do WORK in your bank?

Didn't think so.

P.S. Totally joking! I'm having fun with you guys having fun with me. I'll tell the 15 to 20 grave diggers that arrive every day to BOA you guys said hi. Or maybe they are all accountants.

I really don't understand what the problem is here. With housing going downhill quickly and expanding home equity loans now drying up, we need a new waying of dropping money straight into consumers hands or else the American economy collapses.

The only point is that BOA has been a huge stickler for tons of players when it comes to EFT's and depositing/cashing checks, and turn around to do something like this that seems far more risky and gives an opportunity for illegals to enjoy something they otherwise could not.

But they are doing their best to make sure U.S. Citizens can't get a hold of their poker loot.

All I ask is for BOA to turn a blind eye on both counts, or neither.

Agreed on them being dicks way back when. I stopped doing business with them 27 years ago when my complaints were met with 3 consecutive form letters and never any action or resolution (kinda like Party support). They had made a mistake and I wanted my $9 back. When I went to a branch to discuss things, a manager handed me a form letter and suggested I call the corporate office. Heh.

What's $9 plus 27 years interest?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

I requested an EFT to B of A almost 2 weeks ago. Still hasnt shown up...prob gone

I think you missed the point (and possibly my doom oriented sarcasm), in that the importance of keeping a completely consumer driven american economy afloat dwarfs the importance of helping out a few poker players.

mostly I was taking a shot at the almost surreal economic times we live in rather than your post. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

A key difference is one is illegal and the other is not. The real thing to gripe out is the know your customer laws.

BoA isn't INS. They're not an official government back, in case you didn't realize that. They'll do what's in their best interests, and if it includes taking business from illegals (which is no different from investing in a sketchy foreign market), then more power to them.

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

Free enterprize.

I don't give a hoot who they loan their money to. It is their money.

Sorta like the big flap about a Taco chain in Texas taking pesos. Who gives a rats a$$. The can take shiny beads for all I care.

I hate BoA because they arrest customers who ask if a check they received is real or not after telling him that it is real, when they knew it was fake.

I could not believe it. What is this country coming too. I walked into a pizza shop the other day and the cashier asked for my SSN card as he was grumbling something under his breath about B of A and I just said WTF and walked out the door.

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

I think the point is that they are discriminating agasinst citizens. Why do I have to give my SSN? I don't want to. Other people don't have to. Why do I?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

I do not like them too.So I made credit card which gives 0% APR for 6 months throgh referal site which gives me $40.
I balance transfered $10,000 to my saving account which gives me about 5.3%.I will make $300 off from them.It is small but better than nothing.It does not take much time.

OMG I just saw some suspicious dirty ferners building houses today.

LETS BOYCOTT HOUSES!

Wait, I also remember seeing the dirty people picking fruit and butchering meat!

LETS BOYCOTT FOOD!

They grow our food, build our houses, and now they're BUYING STUFF WITH CREDIT CARDS? WHATS NEXT?

We have to do something about this! Ima call all the cable news networks tomorrow and tell them about our vigilant struggle against the Evil Dirty People.

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

I see some potential illegals working on the roads a lot.
This is especially true when I go to Florida to visit my parents.
I'm going to boycot all roads.

Umm... you don't. Why do you say you do? Just because they ask for it does not mean you have to give it. At the college I went to they asked for it, heck many profs even posted test result by them! I refused to give it, they generated a different id to use for me in their systems. Same thing with my dl. When I went to get gas service they asked for it and at first refused service. When I refused to leave till they put that in writing, they gave me service. Once I had to fix some software installed at a DoE nuclear site. They asked for it. I refused. They had guns put to my head, I refused again. They asked if I was trying to pull something funny. I responded, 'If I was I would have just given you a fake one and not caused a scene'. They gave me and each other a real weird look and let me through.

Moral, Just because someone asks for something does not mean you have to answer.

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

Then why did they need a whole new program without the ssn specifically for illegal immigrants?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

Marketing?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

So you're telling me anyone US or non US could could get a credit card with no ssn in the past, and can still get a cc with no ssn today.

Where does the know your customer patriot act stuff come into play then?

Re: Bank of America Hates Legal Citizens (Especially if they play poke
 

I am a huge hater of Bank of America.

This is the first decent thing they've done, that I'm aware of.
Thank you for helping to bring this to everyone's attention.
